Challenge: From Gargoyle13's mix and match -the song "Saving Me" by Nickelback, the fandom "king Arthur", and the word prompt "discipline" from Pointedswords
Character: Lancelot

"Show me what it's like to be the last one standing,
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be"

You can fight...
But when there are Roman soldiers dragging you away from your homeland and the world is chaos and pain then biting back is only ever self destructive.
A punch thrown ends in a dozen lashes.
An insult ends in the taste of blood in your mouth and the knowledge no matter how hard you struggle, however good you are at what you do, you're still just nothing. Not to the people who control you.
Send the Samartians out and let them do the things the "civilised" soldiers refuse to do and bury the bodies up on the hill...
Gods, no wonder Tristan is the way he is.
All those pretty words and all that "In a few years you'll be free" nonsense. Not enough for the Roman bastards to take our blood; they've got what is left of our souls too.
Arthur didn't know what he was doing when he came here either. He learned slowly and I made it easy for him to hate me.
I wish he did.
He cares for us, he fights for us, and he knows that none of us are ever going home.
On the battlefield it's not just discipline that makes me watch his back - it's the knowledge that he's watching ours.
